πͺ Thirteen dedicated deeders-of-good got (not so) delicately drenched in the aid of tonightβs group run. We gathered inside CVS tonight, to avoid the rain for as long as possible β
π° We discussed our favourite baking (and cooking "bakes") and discovered that weβve got some talented folk whose delicacies had us drooling in delight. From banoffee pie to crumble with everything in between, GoodGym York have got your sweet tooth covered π§
πββοΈπ We warmed up on the go as the rain continued and were soon in the warmth and dry of Get Cycling CIC where Joanne greeted us with an extra warm smile (and places to hang our soggy layers). We also witnessed the largest fruit cake weβd ever seen, from their suppliers in Holland. Sadly, to be admired with our eyes only π
π¨ Joanne gave us our instructions along with a tour of the progress thatβs been made since our last visit. We split into Team Kitchen and Team Big Room ποΈ
πΌοΈ Although the kitchen was slightly bigger than anticipated, it still required some human Twister to contort around each other to paint. Being a petite room, our team were quick to make progress, and in fact, finish the job. All the while, discussing moral matters and true βcrimeβ βοΈ
π Back in the Big Room, the group had split further into team dark grey (working at height) and team light grey (working slightly lower down). There were antics with rollers and paintbrushes galore and much hilarity ensued, alongside great progress being made π
π§οΈ Soon, it was time to venture back into the (slightly lighter?!) rain for our run back to base. Our fitness this evening featured a sprint over the Millennium Bridge Strava segment, which was accomplished impressively. We stretched back at base and parted ways to warm up and dry out π₯
π Thank you everyone, what a team to embrace the rain and come out tonight π
